Introduction
About this Manual
This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the
Extron CrossPoint 300 wideband RGBHV analog matrix switchers.
About the Matrix Switchers
Matrix switchers distribute any input signal to any combination of outputs. The
matrix switchers can route multiple input/output configurations simultaneously.
The matrix switchers are single box solutions to complex wideband video and/or
audio routing applications (figure 1-1). Each input and output is individually
isolated and buffered, and any input(s) can be switched to any one or all outputs
with virtually no crosstalk or signal noise between channels.
The matrix switchers are available in a variety of matrix sizes (the matrix size is the
number of inputs and outputs):
• CrossPoint 300 84 (eight inputs by four outputs)
• CrossPoint 300 88 (eight inputs by eight outputs)
• CrossPoint 300 816 (eight inputs by sixteen outputs)
• CrossPoint 300 124 (twelve inputs by four outputs)
• CrossPoint 300 128 (twelve inputs by eight outputs)
• CrossPoint 300 168 (sixteen inputs by eight outputs)
• CrossPoint 300 1616 (sixteen inputs by sixteen outputs)
CrossPoint 300 series switchers offer two models of each matrix size: HV for
switching RGBHV video signals only, and HVA models for switching RGBHV
video and two-channel stereo audio (balanced and unbalanced).
The CrossPoint 300 Series have a video bandwidth of 300 MHz (-3 dB). All models
can also switch RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, HDTV, component video, S-video, and
composite video signals.
All HVA models input and output audio on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw
terminals. For all HVA switchers, the audio switching can be either linked with the
video (audio follow) or independent of the video (audio breakaway). Adjustable
input audio gain and attenuation compensates for level differences between audio
inputs.
Each matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via its RS-232/RS-422 port. The
matrix switchers are programmed with the Extron Simple Instruction Set™ (SIS™),
a set of basic ASCII code commands that provide simple control through a control
system or PC without programming long, obscure strings of code. SIS commands
can be entered via the RS-232/RS-422 link.
The RS-232/RS-422 port can be connected to a control system, a PC, or the Extron
MCP 1000 remote control panel and/or MKP 1000 remote keypad.
The matrix switchers are housed in rack-mountable, metal enclosures with rack
ears to fit in a 19" rack.
• The CrossPoint 300 84, 88, 124, and 128 are in a 3U high enclosure.
• The CrossPoint 300 816, 168, and 1616 are in a 6U high enclosure.
Each model has an internal 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 65 watt, autoswitchable
power supply that provides worldwide power compatibility.

Tie — An input-to-output connection.
Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied
to more than one input.)
Configuration — One or more ties or one or more sets of ties.
Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the
switcher (also called configuration 0)
Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to 32 global
memory presets can be stored in memory. Preset locations are assigned to
the input buttons and output buttons. Up to 20 or 32 (depending on the
number of input and output buttons) presets can be selected from the front
panel for either saving or retrieving. When a preset is retrieved from
memory, it becomes the current configuration. All models have 32 presets;
on models with fewer than 32 input and output buttons, preset numbers that
are too high to be available from the front panel are still accessible under
RS-232/RS-422 control.

can be adjusted so there are no noticeable volume differences between
sources. Users can set the input level of audio gain or attenuation
(-18 dB to +24 dB) via the RS-232/RS-422 link or the front panel.
Audio output volume (HVA models only) — The audio volume of each output can
be displayed and adjusted through a range of full output to completely silent
from the front panel or under RS-232/RS-422 control.
Switching flexibility — The CrossPoint 300 series units provide individually
buffered, independent matrix switched outputs with audio follow and audio
breakaway for audio models.
• Tie any input to any or all outputs
• Quick multiple tie — Multiple inputs can be switched to multiple outputs
simultaneously. This allows all displays (outputs) to change from source to
source at the same time.
• Audio follow — Audio can be switched with its corresponding video input
via front panel control or under RS-232/RS-422 remote control.
• Audio breakaway — Audio can be broken away from its corresponding
video signal. This feature allows any audio signal to be selected with any
video signal simultaneously to one or all outputs in any combination. Audio
breakaway switching can be done via front panel control or under
RS-232/RS-422 remote control.

presets, and adjustment of audio levels can be performed on the front panel
or via the RS-232/RS-422 link. The RS-232/RS-422 link allows remote control
via a PC or control system.
• QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller (QS-FPC™) — The front panel
controller supports input and output selection, preset creation and selection,
audio input gain and attenuation, and audio output level. The front panel
features slots for labels that can identify each input and output with text or
graphics.
• Windows-based control program — For RS-232/RS-422 remote control from
a PC, the Extron Windows-based control software provides a graphical
interface and drag-and-drop/point-and-click operation. The Windows-based
control program also has an emulation mode that lets you create a switcher
configuration file at the home office and then download it for use by the
switcher on site.
• Simple Instruction Set (SIS
SIS for easy programming and operation.
• Remote control panels and keypads — The matrix switchers are remote
controllable, using the optional MCP 1000 master control panel and any
combination of optional MCP 1000 slave control panels and/or MKP 1000
slave control keypads. The remote control devices are easy to use and
provide tactile buttons for quick selection. Each MCP 1000 can be used for
one-touch switching for a particular output and selecting global presets.
Each MKP 1000 dedicated to an output can be used to select a different input
for that output or to select a preset.
Upgradeable firmware — The firmware that controls all switcher operation can be
upgraded in the field via RS-232/RS-422 without taking the switcher out of
service, opening the switcher enclosure, and replacing the firmware chip.
Firmware upgrades are available for download on the Extron Web site,
www.extron.com, and they can be installed using the Windows
control program.
Labeling — The Extron label software ships with every Extron matrix switcher.
You can create labels to place above the front panel input buttons and below
the output buttons, with names, alphanumeric characters, or color bitmaps
for easy and intuitive input and output selection. Alternatively, labels can be
made with any Brother
Global memory presets — 20 or 32 (depending on the model) global memory
presets are a time-saving feature that lets you set up and store input/output
configurations in advance. You can then recall those configurations, when
needed, with a few simple steps.
Rack mounting — Rack mountable in any conventional 19" wide rack.
Front panel security lockout (Executive mode) — If a matrix switcher is installed in
an open area, where operation by unauthorized personnel may be a problem,
a security lockout feature can be implemented. When the front panel is
locked, a special button combination is required to unlock the front panel
controller before it can be operated.

Installation
Mounting the Switcher
The matrix switchers are housed in rack-mountable, metal enclosures with 19" rack
ears. The amount of vertical rack space required for each switcher is as follows:
• The CrossPoint 300 84, 88, 124, and 128 are in a 3U high enclosure.
• The CrossPoint 300 816, 168, and 1616 are in a 6U high enclosure.
If desired, rack mount the switcher as follows:
1. Insert the switcher into the rack, aligning the holes in the mounting bracket
with those in the rack.
2. Secure the switcher to the rack using the supplied bolts.
Connections and Rear Panel Features
All connectors for all switchers are on the rear panel. Figure 2-1 and figure 2-2
show a representative sampling of all of the matrix switchers described in this
manual.
Figure 2-1 shows the CrossPoint 300 128 HVA.
The CrossPoint 300 84, 88, and 124 are housed in the same 3U enclosure, but
have fewer input and/or output connectors to accommodate their smaller
matrix sizes.

The CrossPoint Series switchers can also switch RGBS, RGsB,
RsGsBs, component video, S-video, or composite video by using
four, three, two, or one BNC(s).
If switching a video format other than RGBHV, ensure that the
same video planes (R, G, B, H/HV, and/or V) are used on the
switcher output as on the input.
The switchers do not alter the video signal in any way. The
signal output by the switcher is in the same format as the input.
On the 8 x 16, 16 x 8, and 16 x 16 matrix sizes, the connectors
for each video plane are grouped together (all of the red inputs
grouped together, all of the green inputs grouped, and so on).
Ensure that you connect the input on each video plane to the
corresponding connector in the correct group (see the drawing at
right).

A device that is known to output non-TTL sync levels (greater than 5 Vp-p)
should be connected to one of the inputs with sync termination switches, and
the switches for that input should be set to the 75 ohm position. If you are not
sure, check the specifications in the user’s manual for the input device.

The following terms, which apply to Extron matrix switchers, are used throughout
this manual:
Tie — An input-to-output connection.
Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied
to more than one input.)
Configuration — One or more ties or one or more sets of ties.
Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the
switcher (also called configuration 0)
Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to 32 global
memory presets can be stored in memory. Preset locations are assigned to
the input buttons and output buttons. Up to 20 or 32 (depending on the
number of input and output buttons) presets can be selected from the front
panel for either saving or retrieving. When a preset is retrieved from
memory, it becomes the current configuration. All models have 32 presets;
on models with fewer than 32 input and output buttons, preset numbers that
are too high to be available from the front panel are still accessible under
RS-232/RS-422 control.
Input and output buttons
If the switcher has fewer inputs and outputs than input and output buttons
and LEDs, only the buttons and LEDs for which the switcher has an input or
output perform the function of selecting and identifying that input or output.
Input buttons and LEDs — The input buttons and LEDs have two primary

Front Panel Operations
The following paragraphs detail the power-up process and then provide sample
procedures for the following actions:
• Creating ties, sets of ties, and configurations
• Changing a configuration
• Viewing ties, sets of ties, and configurations
• Muting and unmuting outputs
• Saving a preset
• Recalling a preset
• Viewing and adjusting the output volume
• Viewing and adjusting the input audio level
• Locking the front panel
• Performing front panel resets
• Reading and setting the RS-232/RS-422 Remote port settings
Power indications
On all models, power is automatically applied when the power cord is connected to
an AC source. When AC power is applied, the switcher performs a self-test that
flashes the front panel button indicators and then turns them off. An error-free
power up self-test sequence leaves the RGBHV LED and the Audio LED on, and all
other LEDs unlit.
The current configuration and all presets are saved in non-volatile memory. When
power is applied, the most recent configuration is retrieved. The previous presets
remain intact.
If an error occurs during the self-test, the switcher locks up and does not operate.
If your switcher locks up on power-up, call the Extron S
Hotline.

Creating a configuration
The current configuration can be changed using the front panel buttons.
Change the current configuration as follows:
1. Press the Esc button to clear any input LEDs, output LEDs, or control LEDs
that are lit.
2. Select to configure video, audio, or both by pressing the RGBHV button
and/or Audio button.
3. Select the desired input and output(s) by pressing the input and output
buttons.
To indicate potential ties, output LEDs blink when an output is selected but
not tied to the input.
To indicate current ties, output LEDs light steadily when an input is tied to
the output.
To clear unwanted outputs, press and release the output buttons associated
with the lit LEDs. To indicate potential unties, output LEDs blink when an
output is deselected but not untied from the input.
4. Press and release the Enter button to accept the new tie or to break an existing
tie.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to create additional ties until the desired
configuration is complete.
• Only one video input and one audio input can be tied to an output.
• If a tie is made between an input and an output, and the selected output
was previously tied to another input, the older tie is broken in favor of the
newer tie.
• To indicate current ties, output LEDs light when an input is selected. To
clear unwanted outputs, press and release the associated output buttons.
• If, when configuring video and audio ties, the Audio LED blinks and the
RGBHV LED is on after selecting an input or output, the LEDs indicate
audio breakaway, meaning that the audio ties are not the same as the video
ties for that input.
• If an input with no tie is selected, only that input’s LED lights.
• When the RGBHV and Audio LEDs are on, if an input with an audio tie
but no video tie is selected, the input’s LED lights and the Audio LED
blinks.
• As each output is selected, the associated output LED blinks to indicate a
tentative tie. LEDs for output(s) that were already tied to the input light
steadily. Outputs that are already tied can be left on, along with new
blinking selections, or toggled off by pressing the associated output
button.
